Canonet GIII QL 17 lens element needed

[leicarfcam]

I picked up a GIII QL17 today that has a badly damaged front lens element. If you have a parts camera with a good element let me know your price.
Lens must be clean with no fungus, hazing, or other damage. Very slight cleaning marks OK.

I got what yer looking for ( was gona sell the advance knob and battery door off it, but they never ended up buying it ).

The problem of course is... how am I gona get the front element off. (The reason the camera being sold for parts is because the shutter is pretty much crapped)

Thanks for the offer. I located a parts camera this morning with good lens and shutter so I'll swap out the whole thing.

Sounds like a plan, I was gona say that would probally be the best way to do it, as I'm not 100% sure, but the front and rear elements on the QL-17 could be "matched".
